Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Liu Meifen responded with a smile: "They're both doing well now. Meilin works at the grain station, and his wife works at the state-run restaurant at the alley entrance. I'll take you there to show you the way tomorrow."

"The jobs are all good! That puts my mind at ease. I was just thinking of seeing if I could help out in any way."

Liu Meifen proudly raised her chin: "His uncle and aunt's jobs were all arranged by Xiao Kun..."

"Huh?" Liu Meiling turned to look at Chang Kun. "This kid is so capable!"

"Don't underestimate your nephew. My job and your brother-in-law's job are all thanks to Xiao Kun. We're living such good lives now..."

Speaking of this, Liu Meifen recalled the days when she didn't have enough to eat or wear in the village.

Seeing that her eldest sister was in a bad mood, Liu Meiling asked, "Our family used to be doing well, has everything changed?"

"Before? Back then, the Japanese devils burned our village to the ground. There was no home left!"

Liu Meifen recounted what happened in the village a few months ago, how she almost couldn't support her daughters, and how miserable those days were!

Liu Meiling listened with tears in her eyes, holding her sister's hand tightly.

She felt a pang of pain in her heart, never imagining that her family had suffered so much before.

"Mother, don't dwell on the past. Things are better now," Chang Kun advised.

"Hey, let's not talk about it anymore. The best days are yet to come. When Xiao Kun gives us a big, healthy son, then we'll have something to look forward to."

Chang Kun was speechless. His mother was always thinking about having a big, healthy son. Sometimes, the things she said to Cheng Min made Cheng Min so embarrassed.

I stayed with my mother and aunt, chatting until after midnight, before they finally went back to bed to rest.

The next morning, Chang Kun unusually slept in.

When he arrived at the entrance of his workplace, he saw a motorcycle with a sidecar parked outside.

Hey, did you do something good these past two days and get this motorcycle as a reward from above?

Section Chief Zhang Qingfeng must be overjoyed.

Thinking this, Chang Kun parked his bicycle but hadn't yet entered the office.

Then Xiao Wang shouted, "Chang Kun, hurry up, that girl from yesterday is coming to see you again."

The girl from yesterday?

Chang Kun was taken aback. Who had come yesterday? It seemed to be Wang Hongxia.

Before he even entered the office, Xiao Wang had already sidled up to him: "Chang Kun, you'd better watch out. I remember your girlfriend's name is Cheng Min, right? Her father is a minister now, you can't just do anything!"

Chang Kun was both amused and exasperated; what kind of nonsense was this?

Xiao Wang was lost in thought about his newly recognized aunt and second sister.

Hearing the voices outside, Lü Jiawei quietly went out and looked at Chang Kun meaningfully.

"What do you mean, Xiao Lü?"

Lu Jiawei chuckled and gave a thumbs up: "Chang Kun, I'm impressed. Your charm is truly remarkable."

Chang Kun shook his head, knowing that he was overthinking things again, and ignored him as he went straight into his office.

"Second sister, you've arrived."

Upon hearing this, Lü Jiawei and Xiao Wang, who were following behind, both had their eyes bulge out.

Hou Jun and the others in the office were also wide-eyed. What was going on? They hadn't seen her for a day, so why was she calling her "Second Sister"?

Wang Hongxia laughed and said, "Brother, you can't be late! I've been waiting for you for ages."

"Second sister, what brings you here to wait for me?"

"Hey, this is what my dad asked me to bring." Wang Hongxia took a small bag out of her handbag and handed it to Chang Kun.

Chang Kun casually took it, opened it and glanced inside. There were two flat wooden boxes inside.

Open the wooden box; inside are two layers of cigars.

"Second sister, this..."

Wang Hongxia waved her hand: "Don't ask me, my dad asked me to bring this. He doesn't usually smoke this. I'm giving you two boxes, and two more to my aunt's husband."

Lei Guohong, Lao Zeng, and the others stared wide-eyed. Cigars were something that ordinary people had no access to.

They had only ever seen other leaders smoke this stuff.

Hou Jun and the others had no idea what a cigar was, but seeing their master's shocked expression, they realized it must be something special.

A day later, the minister's daughter became Chang Kun's second sister?

They even came to deliver nice gifts.

What's going on?!

"You take it and smoke it. Dad gets a few packs of this every month. He doesn't like smoking, so he just gives it away as a favor. You might as well keep it for yourself."

"Hehe... Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with my uncle." Chang Kun picked up a cigarette and smelled it.

In his opinion, this thing wasn't anything high-end; it was only rare because it was an imported product.

Everyone in the office stared at the two chatting. Wang Hongxia didn't want to be looked at like a monkey, so she said a few words and then took her leave.

"Second sister, did you come by bike?"

Chang Kun thought that if his second sister walked, he could ride his bike to give her a ride.

"Yes, I came by bike, but it was a motorcycle."

Wang Hongxia didn't even turn her head, just waved goodbye and left.

Well, Chang Kun had assumed that the sidecar motorcycle was a reward from his superiors to the section chief.

It turns out he was overthinking it; the sidecar motorcycle was actually ridden by Wang Hongxia.

"Cough cough, stop looking, they've already gone far away!" Old Zeng slapped Lü Jiawei on the head.

Lu Jiawei wasn't annoyed. He chuckled and looked at Chang Kun: "Chang Kun, Brother Kun, what happened? Tell me, brother."

"What else could it be? Hongxia is my second sister, and Minister Wang is my uncle."

Everyone's mouths gaped open in an "O" shape. This...

How did Chang Kun and Minister Wang become relatives overnight?

Let's not talk about this anymore.

Chang Kun opened the wooden box and took out several cigars.

He doesn't expect any relatives in official positions to rise in rank; having such relatives would be ideal, but not having them wouldn't matter.

"Master, Uncle Zeng, Brother Monkey, you should try some."

He distributed the cigars to everyone.

Lei Guohong repeatedly declined, saying, "This won't do. At our level, how can we afford to draw such good stuff?"

He had seen leaders who smoked cigars; they were two ranks higher than the section chief. Such good stuff, it would be a waste to smoke it for yourself.

It must be said that people were still very naive at that time.

Chang Kun forcefully shoved cigars into the hands of the group: "What do you mean by whether you can smoke them or not? These things were made for people to smoke."

Hou Jun, Lü Jiawei, and Xiao Yu, the three young men, didn't stand on ceremony with Chang Kun. They believed that if there were too many formalities between brothers, their friendship would fade.

They huddled together, ready to light the cigars and see what they tasted like.

"Don't waste it, take some back for your dads to try, it'll be enough for them to brag about for months!"

Hou Jun and Xiao Lü thought about it and agreed that it was indeed the case.

If I take this back to my dad as a gift, he'll probably be so happy he won't know what's what.

Only Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "My dad doesn't smoke, so I guess I'll have to make do with this."

Hou Jun and Lü Jiawei's eyes lit up when they heard this.

"Xiaoyu, you should have said so earlier! Hurry up!"

"Light the fire quickly, let me taste it first!"

The three of them playfully shared a cigar.

The way he was shaking his head and looking so pleased with himself reminded me of when I was in junior high school, hiding in the bathroom with my buddies and sharing a cigarette.

Time flies, and brothers are scattered across the country. I hope everyone is doing well.
